Bio

Born in Mesão-Frio, Portugal. He studied architecture at the University of Coimbra (Portugal),
where he graduated in 1998. From 2004 to 2006
he pursued a post-graduate course in architecture, territory and memory at the University of
Coimbra. As an outcome of this, in 2010 he published the book A Arquitectura do Quotidiano
(The Architecture of the Everyday), in which he
surveyed how Oporto’s late nineteenth-century
housing negotiated various transitions between
the public realm and the private realm. He has
been engaged in teaching at the University of
Coimbra and since 2009 he is pursuing a PhD
degree at Delft University of Technology, where
he also tutors studios and seminars.
